What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a certified Nutritionist and a passionate Health & Wellness coach. My ambition is to help individuals advance toward proper nutrition awareness, master long-term healthy eating practices, and incorporate sustainable healthy lifestyle goals.
My client base covers everybody especially young to middle-aged adults that either want to pursue a healthier lifestyle or are already actively healthy but seeking to elevate their existing health & wellness goals to new heights.
Tell us about yourself
My biggest success story started many years ago with my own journey towards a healthy lifestyle change. This experience contributed to my confidence and self-belief and led me to take up nutrition coaching as a lifelong passion-profession. I'm really glad I made that call.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
As an independent health & wellness professional, I take plenty of pride in empowering my clients. My greatest strength has been my success in helping my clients accomplish meaningful goals by making informed life choices on their path toward positive, self-directed change.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The 'challenge' for any business lies in making the best use of resources, time, expertise, and energy to maximize growth potential and prospects for success. At stayhealthyfit.ca, the platform's progress has been driven by how successfully we've incorporated client-centered coaching into the process & direct our skills, resources & strategies in the direction of client needs, preferences & performance goals.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Always dream big, but know your competition.
- Be mindful of the barriers but take calculated risks. Never lose an opportunity.
- Plan long-term but also create realistic, short-term client-centric goals to pave the way for long-term success.
- Never give up & trust the process.
